A lot of websites are still in the midst of offering movie fans a preview glance at the upcoming films of 2012. While not quite as extensive (or informative) as our own Screen Rant 2012 movie preview, some of these other sites instead have the fringe benefit of debuting new images and photos from a variety of films, so today we’ve collected 17 new images we thought you SR readers would like to see.

If you have any interest in films like Peter Berg’s big screen adaptation of the Battleship board game, Lionsgate’s adaptation of The Hunger Games, Pixar’s first princess fairytale, Brave, Judd Apatow’s return to Knocked Up universe with the spin-off film This is 40, or Sony’s new look for The Amazing Spider-Man - then be sure to take a minute to browse through our gallery.

The images come our way courtesy of the LA Times‘ ‘Year in Movies’ preview. After the gallery of images you’ll find a quick breakdown of each film, listed in order in which they appear in the gallery. Click any movie title to learn more about that film:

The Amazing Spider-Man- A reboot of the Spider-Man movie franchise in which an orphaned Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) tries to live life as a modern NYC teenager while battling super villains like The Lizard (Rhys Ifans).

The Hunger Games- Teenager Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) enters a deadly competition in order to spare her little sister, and in doing so, pushes a futuristic fascist nation into civil unrest.

John Carter- A confederate soldier (Taylor Kitsch) finds himself embroiled in another civil war…on the planet Mars.

Brave- In this Pixar princess tale, a young celtic princess decides to live life on her own terms – but in winning her freedom, she unleashes an ancient evil upon her kingdom.

Jack the Giant Killer- A young man (Nicholas Hoult) must save a princess from a group of monstrous giants, whose feud with humanity has been re-ignited.

Battleship- When an alien invasion begins at sea, only a a fleet of Naval forces out on a war games exercise can stop it.

-

There you have it, a handful of fairytale re-imaginings, some reboots, sequels and spin-offs, a few literary adaptations, a board game movie, and a couple of original ideas. Seems par for the course as far as movies go, these days.

Why does Peter Parker in this The Amazing Spider-Man looks like his on drugs?

“Illegal” isn’t really the right word – we just don’t think it’s right to post scans from the inside of magazines, since they have those pics in order to encourage people to buy a particular issue. Covers, no problem.

I don’t understand. The Skyfall image is striking. Nice composition. I like the contrast between the light in the pool and the dark surrounding Bond. And you can see from his arms and back that Craig is back in fighting shape (he looked kind of thin in Cowboys & Aliens). Plus, the movie will definitely be better than the Three Stooges or Battleship, and you showed images from those.
What exactly do you mean by “not really up our alley”?
